How Knock AI Transformed Optimove’s SDR Workflow

Reducing Manual Lead Qualification Bottlenecks

Optimove’s wide-ranging Ideal Customer Profile spans diverse market segments and geographies, resulting in substantial inbound traffic from various marketing channels. While this traffic funneled into lead forms, it created a significant challenge: 30%-40% of the generated leads were unqualified.

This inefficiency forced SDRs to spend considerable time on manual tasks, including discovery calls, research, and follow-ups. The global SDR team, tasked with managing both inbound and outbound pipeline generation, faced increased workloads that couldn’t be addressed through team scaling alone.

Optimove needed a solution to:

1. Automate the disqualification of low-value leads.
2. Enable SDRs to focus on high-quality opportunities.
3. Maintain operational efficiency without increasing headcount.

Knock AI Delivers Instant Engagement and 
Intelligent Qualification

Knock’s real-time engagement tools, integrated across Optimove’s website, landing pages and G2 profile, allowed leads to connect instantly via messaging apps.

This frictionless experience not only improved buyer interactions but also provided SDRs with:

1. Actionable insights, such as company data and first-party intent signals.
2. The ability to instantly disqualify unqualified leads and prioritize high-value opportunities.

Knock AI seamlessly integrated with Optimove’s existing HubSpot workflows, ensuring SDRs could work within familiar systems while benefiting from enriched insights. With a straightforward setup process, Knock was fully operational in just two days.
